Walking The Long Miles Home Lyrics - Live From Austin, Tx - Richard Thompson

Oh the last bus has gone 

Or maybe I'm wrong 

It just doesn't exist 

And the words that flew 

Between me and you 

I must be crossed off your list 

So I'm walking the long miles home 

I don't mind losing you 

In fact I feel better each step of the way 

In the dark I rehearse all the right things to say 

I'll be home, I'll be sober by break of day 

Walking the long miles home

Not a soul is around 

As I put more ground 

Between me and you 

And the whole town's asleep 

Or maybe they're deep in the old "voulez vous" 

So I'm walking the long miles home 

And I don't mind losing you 

Got the moon there for company each step of the way 

And the rhythm in my shoes keep the blues all away 

When you ride Shanks's Pony you don't have to pay 

Walking the long miles home

Oh the party was grand 

But I hadn't quite planned on staying so long 

And while you accused me 

The hours confused me and my friends had all gone 

So I'm walking the long miles home 

And I don't mind losing you 

Ah there's nobody out but the cop on the beat 

He's snoring so loud I don't hear my feet 

I just laugh to myself and move off down the street 

Walking the long miles home 

I'm walking the long miles home 

Oh walking the long miles home
